Jewelex, a revered name in fine diamond jewelry, and Ultrahuman, a pioneer in wearable technology, have come together to combine time-honored craftsmanship legacy with cutting-edge health technology with Ultrahuman Rare, the world’s first luxury smart ring.

At the heart of Rare lies a profound respect for artistry and precision. Jewelex, with a heritage spanning over 59 years, has continually set new benchmarks in diamond and jewelry craftsmanship. Their legacy is defined by innovation, where advanced metalworking techniques enhance traditional artistry, ensuring exceptional detail and consistency in every creation.

Rare embodies the seamless fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and precision engineering. Leveraging cutting-edge CNC machining, the ring’s intricate design is executed with micron-level accuracy. While machines deliver exacting precision, the final touch is entrusted to skilled artisans – who then polish and refine each piece to ensure warmth, character, and the unmistakable essence of true craftsmanship.

Jewelex integrates sustainability into every facet of its Rare’s manufacturing, operating on 100% renewable energy since January 2023. Rainwater harvesting at its corporate headquarters further supports resource conservation. By continuously investing in clean energy and eco-friendly practices, it reaffirms its commitment to a greener future in fine jewelry.

On the other end of this union, Ultrahuman has reimagined wearable technology through its mission of health optimization. From the world’s lightest sleep-tracking wearable, the Ultrahuman Ring AIR, to the advanced Ultrahuman M1 continuous glucose monitoring platform and the revolutionary Ultrahuman Home health monitoring device, the company has been at the forefront of turning health data into actionable intelligence.

Ultrahuman Rare was unveiled at the world’s premier technology event, Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas, marking a defining moment in the evolution of fine jewelry.

Rare launched with the “Desert Collection”, featuring three distinctive designs: Desert Rose, Dune, and Desert Snow. Inspired by nature’s most captivating landscapes, these pieces reflect the fluid elegance of wind-sculpted dunes, embodying the balance of beauty and resilience found in arid terrains.

  • Dune and Desert Rose rings are meticulously crafted from 18K Gold, sourced exclusively from London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)-approved refineries and hallmarked by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), ensuring the highest standards of authenticity and quality.
  • Desert Snow is engineered from Pt950 platinum, a metal renowned for its rarity and prestige. 

Commenting on the partnership, Bobby Kothari, Jewelry CEO, Jewelex India Pvt Ltd, stated, “The power of collaboration lies in the ability to bring together diverse strengths. This partnership demonstrates that when traditionally separate industries unite, the potential for growth and innovation is limitless. This is a prime example of how cross-industry synergy can redefine consumer experiences.”

Each Rare ring begins its journey in Jewelex’s expert hands before making its way to UltraFactory, Ultrahuman’s advanced manufacturing facilities in Plano, Texas, and Bengaluru, India.

Here, the skilled artisan-crafted fine jewellery is transformed through intricate manufacturing processes into Rare.

Precision-engineered PCBs, 6-axis motion sensors, and medical-grade temperature sensors are meticulously integrated into the ring’s structure. A proprietary resin casting process ensures seamless embedding of technology while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the jewelry. Each ring, available in sizes 5 to 14, undergoes extensive testing and multiple rounds of quality control, ensuring impeccable performance and craftsmanship.

Finally, Ultrahuman’s custom-programmed firmware is updated on Rare. These firmware updates are designed to be seamless, ensuring that Rare continuously evolves through adaptive software that’s unique.

Mohit Kumar, Founder & CEO, Ultrahuman, added, “Our collaboration with Jewelex brings together two worlds: their legacy of craftsmanship and our expertise in cutting-edge health technology, redefining fine jewelry in the age of wearables.

With Rare, we’re catering to individuals who want their health journey to be as elegant and meaningful as the rest of their lives. The possibilities ahead are limitless.”

Rare made its grand debut in two iconic capitals of luxury: Paris and London.

  • Selfridges London, an emblem of modern luxury, is where heritage and innovation converge to redefine the retail experience.
  • Printemps Paris, with its Belle Époque grandeur, embodies the spirit of Parisian chic through its exquisite curation of global luxury.

Rare’s perfect blend of heritage and future brings the world a statement of sophistication, where old-world artistry meets the future of wearable intelligence, offering an unparalleled experience of beauty, craftsmanship, and technology.

Jewel Buzz recently hosted a high-level panel featuring the titans of the jewelry manufacturing industry to discuss the significance of the JMAIIE 2026. The Panel of Stalwarts comprised :K Srinivasan: Chairman, Emerald Group,Dr. Chetan Kumar: CMD, Lakshmi Diamonds, Bengaluru Nitesh Jain, MD, Purple Jewels Private Limited,Nikhil Ranavat: Director, AR Gold Private Limited & Director, Swarnshilp Chains and Jewels Pvt Ltd

The discussion highlighted how technology is no longer an optional expense but a vital investment for global competitiveness. The importance of machinery was summed by said K Srinivasan: Investing in machinery is not an expenditure; it is an investment.

Key Objectives for JMAIIE 2026

The leaders identified several critical reasons for attending the expo, emphasizing that the “machinery-only” focus of JMAIIE allows for deep concentration without the distractions of finished jewelry.

  • Technology Upgradation:  K Srinivasan emphasized that with 41 years in the field, he views quality machinery as the foundation for working with all gold purities (from 9k to 22k) and silver. Continuous updating is required to stay relevant.
  • Cost & Loss Reduction:  Nikhil Ranawat pointed out that with rising gold prices, the priority is minimizing manufacturing losses. Even recovering an extra 1% of gold through better technology significantly impacts the bottom line.
  • Weight & Aesthetics: Dr. Chetan Kumar noted the industry’s shift toward both ultra-lightweight and complex fashionable jewelry, both of which require advanced precision tools.
  • Production Efficiency:  Nitesh Jain highlighted the need for robust, “non-breakdown” machines to keep manufacturing costs low for the end consumer.

The State of “Make in India” Machinery

The panel offered a candid assessment of domestic vs. international machinery standards:

Strengths of Indian MachineryAreas for Improvement
Outstanding quality in Enameling, Casting Furnaces, and Buffing Machines.Chain-making technology still lags behind global standards.
Excellence in CAD/CAM software and implementation.Need for more robust, long-term durability to match Italian/Western builds.
High value-for-money and improving after-sales service.Consistency in high-end finishing for luxury products.

Future Outlook

The industry leaders called for a strategic shift to align with the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision.

  1. Technology Hubs: Dr. Chetan Kumar said government support was imperative and proposed the creation of a dedicated Technology Park for the jewelry industry where manufacturers and AI researchers can collaborate on new machinery.
  2. Skill Development:  Nitesh Jain warned that high-tech machines are useless without a skilled workforce trained to operate them. A cultural shift from traditional handmade methods to tech-driven manufacturing is essential.
  3. Global Ambitions: With the conclusion of various FTAs (Free Trade Agreements), the panel believes that superior technology will allow India to truly become the “Jeweler to the World.”

Conclusion

JMAIIE 2026 stands as a pivotal platform for the industry. The consensus is clear: the future of Indian jewelry lies in the marriage of traditional hand-craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
